What color is Benjamin Moore Tawny Day Lily?
Benjamin Moore Tawny Day Lily 2012-10 is a vivid, warm red-orange with a clear, sunbaked intensity. Its strong saturation makes it best suited to places where color is meant to be noticed, such as a dining room accent wall, a painted front door, or the back of built-in shelving. In bright daylight, this shade reads crisp and energetic, while warmer evening lighting can pull forward its earthy orange character. Pair it with soft cream, warm white, camel leather, natural oak, or matte black details to give its brightness some structure. On cabinetry or smaller furniture, Tawny Day Lily can create a bold focal point without overwhelming an entire room.

LRV of Tawny Day Lily
Tawny Day Lily has an LRV of 18.5% and refers to Medium Dark which means that this color reflects very little light. Why LRV is important?
Light Reflectance Value measures the amount of visible and usable light that reflects from a painted surface.
Simply put, the higher the LRV of a paint color, the brighter the room you will get.
The scale goes from 0% (absolute black, absorbing all light) to 100% (pure white, reflecting all light).
Act like a pro: When choosing paint with an LRV of 18.5%, pay attention to your bulbs' brightness. Light brightness is measured in lumens. The lower the paint's LRV, the higher lumen level you need. Every square foot of room needs at least 40 lumens. That means for a 200 ft2 living room you'll need about 8000 lumens of light – e.g., eight 1000 lm bulbs.
